Instead, reserve an appointment two days beforehand, by using the service found here: http://www.alata.it/eng/musei/musei.asp. It’s free and straightforward – what could be better? Viva Italia!
As I mentioned in this week’s story on Rio, a committee has been organized to choose the Seven New Wonders of the World, out of a list of 21 nominees. The results will be declared in a ceremony on July 7, 2007 (07/07/07) in Lisbon, Portugal. If you want to vote for great sites like Cristo Redentor in Rio, the Colosseum in Roma, or the Great Wall of China, then log on and cast your vote now.
